Do I treat Glocks like I treat my lawn mowers? No, I treat them worse. I treat my defensive weapons like my fire extinguishers and smoke detector - annual maintenance and I expect them to work when needed

A good heavy grade of leather and some barge cement, AKA "leather glue." Early in my Mountain Man phase I made myself a sheathe for my Green River knife; I cut two pieces for the outside, and then a third to go between them that was the same outside shape but cut out in the silhouette of the knife. Glued them together with the barge cement, put fancy dome-headed carpet tacks on the outside for class. I'll see if I can't track the thing down and post a photo.

For a hatchet sheathe, you probably want the top and back open, so what you may want to do is to simply use a pencil (NOT PEN! Ask me how I know... ) to mark a dot every quarter-inch or so, use a drill to make a hole at each dot, and then do a whip stitch with your preferred water-resistant cord or thread. I have one of these "somewhere" also...
